1. REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
1. REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
DRIVING PRECAUTIONS
The  rear  view  monitor  system  assists 
the driver by displaying an image of the  
view  behind  the  vehicle  with  fixed  
guide lines on the screen while backing  
up, for example while parking.
INFORMATION
● The  screen  illustrations  used  in  this  text  
are  intended  as  examples,  and  may  dif-
fer  from  the  image  that  is  actually  dis-
played on the screen.
The rear view monitor system is a sup-
plemental device intended to assist the  
driver when backing up. When backing  
up, be sure to visually check all around  
the vehicle both directly and using the  
mirrors  before  proceeding.  If  you  do  
not,  you  may  hit  another  vehicle,  and  
could possibly cause an accident.
Pay  attention  to  the  following  precau-
tions when using the rear view monitor  
system.
WA R N I N G
● Never  depend  on  the  rear  view  monitor  
system  entirely  when  backing  up.  The  
image and the position of the guide lines  
displayed  on  the  screen  may  differ  from  
the actual state. 
Use  caution,  just  as  you  would  when  
backing up any vehicle.
● Be  sure  to  back  up  slowly,  depressing  
the brake pedal to control vehicle speed.
● The  instructions  given  are  only  guide-
lines.  When  and  how  much  to  turn  the  
steering  wheel  will  vary  according  to  
traffic  conditions,  road  surface  condi-
tions,  vehicle  condition,  etc.  when  park-
ing. It is necessary to be fully aware of  
this  before  using  the  rear  view  monitor  
system.
● When parking, be sure to check that the  
parking  space  will  accommodate  your  
vehicle before maneuvering into it.
● Do not use the rear view monitor system  
in the following cases:
• On  icy  or  slick  road  surfaces,  or  in  
snow
• When  using  tire  chains  or  emergency  
tires
• When  the  tail  gate  is  not  closed  com-
pletely
• On  roads  that  are  not  flat  or  straight,  
such as curves or slopes.
● In  low  temperatures,  the  screen  may  
darken  or  the  image  may  become  faint.  
The  image  could  distort  when  the  vehi-
cle  is  moving,  or  you  may  become  
unable  to  see  the  image  on  the  screen.  
Be  sure  to  visually  check  all  around  the  
vehicle  both  directly  and  using  the  mir-
rors before proceeding.
● If the tire sizes are changed, the position  
of the  fixed  guide  lines  displayed  on the  
screen may change.
● The  camera  uses  a  special  lens.  The  
distances between objects and pedestri-
ans  that  appear  in  the  image  displayed  
on  the  screen  will  differ  from  the  actual 
distances.( P.143)

5. SETUP
■TIRE CHANGE CALIBRATION
1Select “Tire Change” .
The  message  appears  and  the  quick  dis -
tance calibration starts automatically.
The tire change calibration function will 
be used when replacing the tires. This  
function  will  adjust  miscalculation  
caused  by  the  circumference  differ-
ence between the old and new tires.
INFORMATION
● If  this  procedure  is  not  performed  when  
the  tires  are  replaced,  the  current  posi-
tion mark may be incorrectly displayed.

6. TIPS FOR THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Accurate  current  position  may  not  be  
shown in the following cases:
• When  driving  on  a  small  angled  Y- sha ped 
road.
• When driving on a winding road.
• When driving on a slippery road such as  
i n
 sand, gravel, snow, etc.
• When driving on a long straight road.
• When freeway and surface streets run in  
pa ra
llel.
• After moving by ferry or vehicle carrier.
• When  a  long  route  is  searched  during  
hi gh 
speed driving.
• When  driving  without  setting  the  current  
po sit
ion calibration correctly.
• After  repeating  a  change  of  direction  by  
go ing
  forward  and  backward,  or  turning  
on a turntable in a parking lot.
• When  leaving  a  covered  parking  lot  or  
pa rk
ing garage.
• When a roof carrier is installed.
• When driving with tire chains installed.
• When the tires are worn.
• After replacing a tire or tires.
• When  using  tires  that  are  smaller  or  
l arger 
than the factory specifications.
• When  the  tire  pressure  in  any  of  the  4  
t ir
es is not correct.
Inappropriate route guidance may occur in  
the following cases:
• When  turning  at  an  intersection  off  the  
d esi
gnated route guidance.
• If  you  set  more  than  1  destination  but  
sk ip 
any  of  them,  auto  reroute  will  dis-
play  a  route  returning  to  the  destination  
on  
the previous route.
• When turning at an intersection for which  
t here 
is no route guidance.
• When  passing  through  an  intersection  
f or 
which there is no route guidance.
• During  auto  reroute,  the  route  guidance  
ma y 
not  be  available  for  the  next  turn  to  
the right or left.
• During  high  speed  driving,  it  may  take  a  
l ong
  time  for  auto  reroute  to  operate.  In  
auto  reroute,  a  detour  route  may  be  
shown.
• After  auto  reroute,  the  route  may  not  be  
ch ange
d.
• If  an  unnecessary  U-turn  is  shown  or  
a nnou
nced.
• If  a  location  has  multiple  names  and  the  
sy ste
m announces 1 or more of them.
• When a route cannot be searched.
• If  the  route  to  your  destination  includes  
g r
avel,  unpaved  roads  or  alleys,  the  
route guidance may not be shown.
• Your  destination  point  might  be  shown  
o n t
he opposite side of the street.
• When  a  portion  of  the  route  has  regula-
tions  prohibiting  the  entry  of  the  vehicle  
t hat
 vary by time or season or other rea -
sons.
• The  road  and  map  data  stored  in  the  
n a
vigation  system  may  not  be  complete  
or may not be the latest version.
 If  the  vehicle  cannot  receive  GPS  sig-
nals,  the  current  position  can  be  
adjusted  manually.  For  information  on  
setting  the  current  position  calibration:

INFORMATION
● This  navigation  system  uses  tire  turning  
data  and  is  designed  to  work  with  fac-
tory-specified  tires  for  the  vehicle.  
Installing  tires  that  are  larger  or  smaller  
than  the  originally  equipped  diameter  
may cause inaccurate display of the cur-
rent  position.  The  tire  pressure  also  
affects the diameter of the tires, so make  
sure that the tire pressure of all 4 tires is  
correct.
